I left NYC more than 20 years ago.
I would go easy on the insults to people from New York and Virginia.......Philadelphia (and all of PA for that matter) is not exactly the hotbed of honesty and integrity it may have been at one time.
Philly and PA have NEVER EVER been paragons of virtue. Philly was corrupt from the day Penn stepped off the boat.
It's eve worse now.
However it is America's birthplace - despite what the Virginians say.
